Social Prescribing is an approach to better connect community care (\u201csocial\u201d) and clinical care (\u201cprescribing\u201d), improving patient health outcomes by meeting non-clinical needs and addressing the social determinants of health. It is an intentional pathway that emphasizes collaboration between formal and informal supports within the community, and empowers patients to co-create their own care.<\/p>\n
In this webinar, we are joined by Sonia Hsiung, Director of the Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing, as well as Caitlin Muhl, Le-Tien Bhaskar, and Niloufar Aran, of the Canadian Social Prescribing Student Collective, to talk to us about what social prescribing is and how it works, as well as to explore opportunities for how it can be adapted to the post-secondary context to better support students with their mental health.<\/p>\n
